FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, the Nike Dunk Low typically fits true to size for standard adult feet.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing will permanently damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
How should I store these when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and keep them in their original box or a shoe bag.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the suede is not naturally waterproof. Applying a suede-safe protective spray is highly recommended.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to swap them out for custom orthotics if needed.
What is the best way to remove scuffs?
For light scuffs, a suede eraser is the most effective tool. Avoid using water or harsh household cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Surface dust and light dirt buildup on the suede
Use a dry, soft-bristled suede brush to gently loosen and remove debris.
Water spots on the material
Gently dab with a clean, slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally; do not use heat sources like radiators.
Loss of texture (matted suede)
Use a suede brush or a clean eraser to gently restore the nap by brushing in multiple directions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Dunk Lows remain in top condition, follow these care and setup guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Apply a high-quality, water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede before your first wear to protect against minor liquid spills.
- Cleaning: Never submerge the shoes in water. Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dust and dirt in the direction of the nap.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a suede eraser, rubbing lightly in a back-and-forth motion rather than using liquid detergents.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can cause the vibrant orange dye to fade over time.
- Compatibility: These shoes fit true to size for most adults. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, consider a half-size increase.
